In the realm of recent online activity within the Russian nationalist circles, there's been an intriguing attempt to rekindle the discussions surrounding the Holy and Great Council in Crete. Surprisingly enough, they've managed to connect it to the Ukraine issue – quite the imaginative leap, wouldn't you say?

Their narratives are a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit and a testament to the fact that leadership knows no gender bounds.

Let’s me tell you about the historical and pertinent history of archons.
